The same stubborn scenario
The same view every night A silhouette, close to the edge A moth under the light The echo of my thoughts On infinite repeat A schizophrenic mind field Of two and a half feet
Turned one hundred and eighty In a blanketed cocoon A butterfly to a moth Under the light of the moon A stark and palpable silence An insurmountable rutUrges, kept at arm’s length Until my eyes flutter shut
Take me back to my museRelease me from this storm From the cold of my creation The bitter back to the warm From this tempest in a teapot These chilling winds of blame The frigid reality each night The moth back to the flame
An exasperating tug of war Across a span of diminished hope There has to be some solace Near the end of my rope
Nothing that I can do or say Changes, impervious to gain The collateral damage is done A consequence to the pain

So many months, eaten awayThe thin fabric of a ruse
Resentful of my own creationA moth disguised as a muse
Rose-coloured tunnel vision?
Wishful thinking all along? For the sanity of lost time It would help if I was wrong

Take me back to my muse Release me from this regretFrom the pall of uncertainty That hangs over me yet From the now back to the thenThe difference of day to nightTo open arms and an open mindTo a butterfly, in a better light
